Background

4.

5. The revised Terms of Reference were agreed by the Constitution Working Group and were submitted to Audit & Governance Committee on 27 November 2024 for discussion and decision. It was unanimously agreed by Audit & Governance that the proposed revisions to the Terms of Reference should be referred to Council for adoption.

6. It is therefore proposed that the attached revised terms of reference come into force with immediate effect.
